Rev, I think I will have you beat on the slowest, my 350f is at a stand still at the moment and will be until I get my new shop built, which has not even been started yet!

Sorry B, but I think I have you beat. I tore Nixon apart over two years ago and she still isn't done. Close but not yet.
I've seen Kiley rip it up on his near stocker, this thing should be close to scary. Mothers will hide their children.

Got a few parts in, clip-on mounts for the 41mm forks in, the kibblewhite valve springs in hand, and the new CNC'd bronze bushing pivot cam chain tensioner from TTR400. Motor parts are mostly here now.

Clip on mounts.
Good stuff. One step closer.

I MUST HAVE ONE OF THOSE TENSIONERS!!!!!!! I wish I knew you were ordering one, I would have combined my order with yours to save shipping and had it sent to you! Thanks for keeping a brother informed!

I just might order one soon, B. If I do, I will let you know.
Yeah sorry guys, there was nothing really to report. I ordered mine plus the valve springs and some other goodies from Kevin, the former operator of 400fourstore.com. I noticed one day that the site was down so I just happened to E-mail him and see what the deal was. Turns out, he shut down the site because he moved to Thailand! he dropped my package off the day before he flew out and overnighted it to me. It was the last tensioner in the states, and the last set of Kibblewhite springs for the 350/400f ever made. I just got lucky and pounced while I had the chance.
You can still get the tensioners no problems, they just have to be imported from South Africa.

gees!!!Some guys have all the luck!
On a side note, I do have a set of the Megacycle HD valve springs here. They are missing one spring, but I checked with MC and you can get the single inner and outer spring for $21. It's a $350 set of springs. They came with my cam when I bought it. If anyone with a baby 4 is interested, lemme know! $100 and they're yours. That makes $121 dollars for a $350 set of springs! Hahaha! Gotta hustle fellas, I'm building a shop!!!!
